Organics to You - June 28, 2010

Today is a day of massive fridge cleaning. We've been over run with deliveries, supplemental things we've picked up and farmers market finds. Combine all of that with some eating out and we're once again filling up the compost bin!

That said, here's today's box full of goodies:

a head of red leaf lettuce

kale

garlic spears

broccoli

a cucumber

green onions

peas

celery

10 red potatoes

3 yams

2 bulbs of garlic

cherries

blueberries

3 nectarines

5 apricots

cilantro

In the fridge:

green leaf lettuce

4 avocados (thrilled to learn that putting a ripe avocado in the fridge will let it sit for quite a while before getting around to using)

1 cucumber

some garlic

2 shallot

some onions

kale

chard

celery

green cabbage

5 apples

broccoli

head of cauliflower

2 bulbs of fennel

carrots

red beets

radishes

4 zucchini

5 grapefruit

4 mangoes

a lemon

4 limes

3 peaches

3 plums

3 pluots

2 apricots

1 plantain

several red & orange bell peppers

2 small daikon

several bananas

2 pints strawberries

medium sized jicama

1 tomato

young Walla Walla onions

3 red bell peppers

1 orange bell pepper

ginger

cherries

4 pints of blueberries

1/2 pint of raspberries

russet potatoes

red potatoes

yams

green peas (from our garden - yeah!)

The Compost Pail of Shame (what we didn't use and had to compost):

piles of lettuce

bunches of spinach

a little cilantro

some basil

sunchokes

bits of green pepper

some broccoli

4 ears of corn

a mango

Even more terrifying looking at it all written out...

OK, just how to cope with all this produce? Here's the ideas I've got, I'm grateful we have a party this weekend to help with the produce :)
